Operational Strategy for Breaking Through to a Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer Expert
After disposing of Eastern Traveler, Xiao Chen went back and picked up his Storage Bag and High-Grade Magic Tool-level Defensive Magic Robe.
In the past, this kind of Defensive Magic Tool would be scrapped before the battle was over.
This is the first undamaged trophy he has captured. If he could take it to a place like Bat Pavilion, he would be able to sell it for at least a thousand pieces Spirit Stone.
"Take it!"
Xiao Chen raised his hand and put away Sword Formation at the entrance of the cave.
Cao Honghai, which had just broken through Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer, was completely unable to withstand the strangulation of Lesser Three Talents Sword Formation, and had long since died.
He also took away his Storage Bag, and then cleared the traces in the cave.
Then the two Storage Bag were refined in sequence.
His cracking time this time was a quarter of an hour faster than before. The two Storage Bag took only one and a half hours to complete.
Cao Honghai's Storage Bag is a mess, with a bit of everything.
But there is no valuable thing at all. His most precious thing is the shield that has been torn to pieces by Sword Formation, and High-Grade Magic Sword that has been broken into two pieces.
All I can say is that it is very consistent with his status as a casual cultivator.
This makes Xiao Chen a little disappointed.
Fortunately, Eastern Traveler's Storage Bag also fits his identity of Four Directional Travelers very well.
The first is a total of 41,889 pieces of Spirit Stone, which is so full that it almost fills up the Storage Bag.
Hiss~!
So damn rich.
However, among the more than 40,000 Spirit Stone, at least 20,000 came from Zhu County, which were ill-gotten gains plundered by Eastern Traveler.
Xiao Chen estimates that the rest is not very clean.
Then, he found the Special Small Cauldron containing Blood Wine and the three corresponding wine glasses. This seemed to be a set of magic weapons, probably related to poison.
There are also some consumable elixirs such as Grain Avoidance Pill, Gushing Spring Pill, and a token made of pure gold.
The front of this token is engraved with the words Huidong, and the back is engraved with many inscriptions. I can't tell what its use is for the time being.
Then there are three copies of Devil Cultivation Method.
They are a book called <Yellow Springs Secret Canon True Explanation>, and the whole article is annotations and cultivation experiences of <Yellow Springs Secret Canon>.
A book <Blood Sea Divine Fire Record> records a special Fire Method.
And the last single volume <Blood Sacrifice Secret Technique·Soul Severing Needle>.
"Soul Chasing Shuttle, Soul Severing Needle, isn't this what chasing the soul to death means?"
Xiao Chen opened it and took a look. Sure enough, it was a Demonic Dao Secret Technique specially designed to restrain the monk Defensive Magic Tool.
"No wonder it is rumored that Spirit Origin Sect suffered particularly heavy casualties."
He finally understood that with such special means, it would be abnormal if Spirit Origin Sect could gain the upper hand.
"Could it be that another large-scale Demonic Calamity is coming?"
Previously, Xiao Chen checked Ancient Books about Sha Qi on the Scripture Pavilion and also learned a lot about Demonic Calamity that happened in the past.
Southern Domain Similar things happened more than once
Every once in a while, the strength of the demonic monks will suddenly increase dramatically, break through the heavy blockades of the righteous path, and expand rapidly.
What followed was a human catastrophe
The smaller Demonic Calamity will be limited to a certain state
But if it is a large Demonic Calamity, it will spread to several states or even cover most of Southern Domain
The former will eventually be annihilated by Righteous Cultivator from nearby states, and the territory will be divided up again.
As for the latter, there will be two results.
The first result is that he suddenly becomes the new leader of the righteous path and suppresses the other demon cultivators.
When Luo Tian Sect was once powerful, he also struck hard at Li Province's other magic cultivators.
Xiao Chen also learned from Ancient Books that the <Soul Confusion Spirit Gathering Great Method> picked up at He Yang County belonged to Fragrance Seeking Dao, and was suppressed very badly by the Luo Tian Sect at that time.
The second result is to continue to bring disaster to one party
In the end, I met Peerless Prodigy who was Born to Face Tribulation, and successfully proved to be Nascent Soul True Lord, sweeping away Southern Domain to wipe out the evil spirits and bring order to the chaos.
Before that, God knows how many innocent people will be killed by demonic cultivators.
Judging from the current situation, the situation is actually very bad.
Whether it's Bloodspike Pill, Iron Bone Pill, or this Devil Cultivation Method that specifically fights against Righteous Cultivator.
All signs indicate that Divine Fire Sect is well prepared this time, and a large-scale Demonic Calamity is inevitable
And judging from the geographical location and the direction of the Divine Fire Sect's invasion, Li Province is definitely involved this time.
This preparedness is also reflected in another matter.
That is, Eastern Traveler carries with him a piece of information about Mr. Su Family.
This piece of information contains more than 60,000 words, and at the end it lists almost all of Old Master Su's achievements in the past hundred years.
Especially when taking action in public, I have used Law Technique and Talisman.
Then it clearly stated five conditions that need to be prepared in advance if you want to hunt Old Master Su.
In addition to Soul Severing Needle, which is used to restrain Tassel-Edged Brocade Handkerchief, and <Yellow Springs Demonic Fetus Great Art>, which is used to prepare cannon fodder.
There is also Formation Flag with Yellow Wind Flowing Sand Formation arranged on nine sides, as well as the corresponding Array Layout Diagram, and Defensive Formation used to crack Su Family.
A Law Breaking Golden Light Talisman can restrain Water Condensation Weapon Secret Technique from the Su Family.
One Top-Grade Magical Artifact level Muddy Water Round Shield, used to parry Old Master Su's Flying Fire Spear.
"Isn't this too targeted?"
Xiao Chen turned over Storage Bag. Except for the cannon fodder used to block the other Su Family monks and attract the attention of the Li Fire Sect, all the other items were already in place.
If Eastern Traveler were to bring these things to South Lake, Old Master Su would be in danger.
"Wait a minute, am I also being collected information?"
Xiao Chen suddenly thought that as Demon Subduing Hall Caretaker, there was a high probability that he was already on the Divine Fire Sect's hunting list.
There may be a demonic cultivator that attacks you one day with various targeted Law Artifact and Talisman.
He turned around and looked at the traces left by Sword Formation at the entrance of the cave.
"No, starting from today, I have to be more defensive and try not to expose my trump card."
Xiao Chen immediately took out Flying Sword and began to carefully and thoroughly clean up the Magic Trace he left behind.
Of course it's impossible to completely eliminate it, but he can use his already exposed Law Technique to cover Sword Formation's Sword Qi.
"I should be fine here, there are not many people who have seen me take action and are still alive."
Xiao Chen While cleaning up, he considered the strength information he had leaked.
Many people know about Divine Fire Summoning Banner, Hidden Fire Treasure Gourd and Jinpa.
Wind Thunder Pair Swords and Ice Sword are also public channels and cannot be hidden.
But Minor Three Talents Sword Formation Diagram is still a secret, including Golden Melon Thunder Hammer, Flowing Light Golden Light Pearl, and Lotus Jade Scepter, which can be regarded as trump cards.
"But these are all offensive Law Artifact, and we also need a defensive trump card."
Xiao Chen flipped through his Storage Bag: "Hey, this Muddy Water Round Shield seems to be very good."
"As long as you don't tell anyone that I killed Eastern Traveler, no one will know that I took Muddy Water Round Shield."
Then he recalled Law Technique.
<Seven Stars Swordplay>, which has been used many times, must have been exposed. <Blazing Sky of Rosy Clouds> has practiced in Emerald Valley, so it is probably impossible to hide it from those who are interested.
Fortunately, no one should know about <Golden Light Shrinking Earth> and <Luo Tian Mysterious Fire Crow>.
"Speaking of which, does exchanging <Receive Fire Treasure Talisman> at the Merit Hall count as exposure?"
.
Logically speaking, only Foundation Establishment can view the exchange status of the Merit Hall.
As long as there are no traitors, it should be fine.
"I'm afraid I can't believe it."
Xiao Chen After thinking about it, I must rather believe that this kind of thing exists.
Of course, this does not affect his cultivation <Receive Fire Treasure Talisman>, but from now on it can only be regarded as a Auxiliary Spells that can resist Fire Control's anger, and cannot be regarded as a trump card.
It took two hours to cut the inside and outside of the cave with Seven Stars Swordplay.
Make sure nothing can be seen except Sword Art.
Xiao Chen left Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range satisfied.
It's thanks to Cao Honghai that he ran over on his own, saving him from having to go elsewhere to investigate.
Now that Eastern Traveler and his two minions have been dealt with, you should be able to live a stable life.
"Junior Brother Xiao, it's great that you're okay!"
Before he got close to the Li Fire Sect, he met Mei Yong who was out searching.
Later, I learned that on the day he disappeared, Li Fire Sect, led by the Chen Family and Liu Family, many monks went out to search for his whereabouts.
In order to redeploy manpower, many Strongholds have suspended their operations and given three days of leave to the disciples working below.
"By the way, where have you been these past two days? Have you found any clues about the demon cultivator?"
After Mei Yong confirmed that he was fine, he immediately became concerned about the whereabouts of Eastern Traveler: "Since so many people have been dispatched, it is best to capture this Demon in one fell swoop."
"Avenge the monks he killed."
If this had been put aside before, Xiao Chen might have told the truth, so that everyone would not have to work in vain.
But now, of course, he chose to hide the message: "Oh, I saw what the other party wrote on the city wall, so I went to the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range."
"As a result, no trace of the demon cultivator was found there. It seems like it was just a plan by the other party to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
Mei Yong heard this and nodded. "Normally, demon cultivators are a group of cunning villains."
"In this case, junior brother, you go back to the sect to rest first, and I will patrol along this way again."
Return to Emerald Valley.
Xiao Chen took out Yellow Wind Flowing Sand Formation Diagram again and studied the formation carefully.
Array formation is actually a very complicated matter, but fortunately Eastern Traveler does not actually have access to the formation channel.
Therefore, he used the customized Formation Flag that has low requirements and is easy to use.
Most of the difficulties have been solved by Array Master and the weapon refiner who refined Formation Flag.
In actual combat, you only need to set up the secondary flags in advance and activate Main Array Flag according to the command, and you can easily launch a large formation.
Once you become proficient, this process only takes a quarter of an hour at most.
This approach is actually rare because the cost is quite high.
Not only is the production cost of the nine-sided Formation Flag high, each time it is used, it costs one thousand Spirit Stone to activate.
Moreover, the real Yellow Wind Flowing Sand Formation is a second-level siege formation, and it is not a problem to trap five or six Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators.
The power exerted by the customized Formation Flag is only half, it can only be limited to two or three people, and it will be damaged after being used five times at most.
All in all, it's very uneconomical.
But Xiao Chen is the Formation Flag that I picked up for free, and the price/performance ratio is very high.
At that time, whether you are resting in the wild or ambushing the enemy in a certain area, you can always prepare Formation Flag in advance so that you can have another trump card in the face of emergencies.
"In the future, with Yellow Wind Flowing Sand Formation, I can easily occupy the right location."
Xiao Chen The more I look at it, the more I feel that this array diagram is a good thing.
Therefore, he spent two days seriously learning how to set up the secondary flag and how to activate the main flag.
In the past two days, Li Fire Sect has looked through almost the entire territory.
However, they only caught a few unlucky Bandit Cultivator and did not find any clues about Eastern Traveler.
Originally, the incident of Zhu County could not be covered up, but this investigation has completely spread it.
For a time, many small Lineages in the Li Fire Sect were in panic, fearing that they would become the next target.
"The latest news, Southern Traveler and Western Traveler, have both appeared in He Province."
Chen Zhixuan found Xiao Chen with the information. "Northern Traveler is the only Talisman Master among Four Directional Travelers who can't use blood magic."
"We can now confirm that the person who sneaked in this time is Eastern Traveler."
With that said, he handed over the information. "Oh, I heard that this person is proficient in Nine Heavens Blood Transformation Great Art. I'm afraid there will be no peace in the future."
"Brother Zhixuan, I don't think you need to worry too much."
Xiao Chen said with relief, "Maybe he would have been scared and ran away when he saw us making such a big show of things."
Chen Zhixuan shook his head. "Oh, Junior Brother Xiao, you don't know how vicious these demon cultivators are, how could they run away because of fear."
Having said that, I actually don't think it's that evil.
The pressure from Eastern Traveler is not as great as that from Lu Wuqiang.
A few days later, September came.
Xiao Chen has nothing to do, so he plans to go to Three Sects Joint Tournament to join in the fun, and by the way, he can also cheer Su Wanqing up.
"Senior Brother Mei, has the date of this year's Three Sects Joint Tournament been decided?"
"Junior Brother Xiao You can't participate in the competition now, otherwise others will say that you bully the small ones."
Mei Yong teased first, and then replied, "But this year's competition has been postponed, so it's hard to say now."
"Postponed?"
Xiao Chen asked curiously, "Did something happen?"
Mei Yong nodded. "I was planning to inform you that Divine Fire Sect has stepped up its offensive against He Province. The situation there is not optimistic."
"Now Spirit Origin Sect is already contacting Azure Flame Sect and Four Seas Sect to discuss the second batch of reinforcements."
"We are also offered good conditions here, and the specific time should be within ten months."
Due to the establishment of Demon Subduing Hall He Province Branch, Xiao Chen now also understands some of the grudges and grudges there.
Generally speaking, the relationship between the Spirit Origin Sect and Azure Sky Sect is very poor. There have been many conflicts between the two parties in the past on many matters.
At the same time, there are also some territorial disputes with Ten Thousand Flowers Valley.
This is actually normal, after all, these are the three largest sects in He Province.
Over hundreds or thousands of years, everyone will have times when they are too strong and take advantage of it; there are also times when everyone is too weak and have to give in.
It can't be justified unless there is hatred.
So the current situation is that Spirit Origin Sect would rather call for reinforcements from Li Province than contact the other two companies that are closer.
From the Li Fire Sect's perspective, this is a good thing.
Otherwise, where would there be so many orders for alchemy and weapon refining?
But what Xiao Chen is curious about is. "Will the other two sects also send people to reinforce Spirit Origin Sect?"
"Well, how should I say it?"
Mei Yong lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "There is news that I'm not sure about yet, it's just hearsay."
"I heard that Spirit Origin Sect is going to give out a Breakthrough Spirit Pill as the highest Points reward."
.
Breakthrough Spirit Pill!
Xiao Chen's brows jumped when he heard this. This definitely did not refer to the Foundation Establishment pill, but the pill used to break through Golden Core.
Good guy, if Spirit Origin Sect is really willing to take this out, then he has to consider fighting for it.
This opportunity must not be missed, otherwise you may have to wait until the next time.
Soon, rumors spread one after another that Azure Flame Sect and Four Seas Sect had abnormal personnel changes.
Xiao Chen changed his past habits and went to the Demon Subduing Hall every day to check the latest information.
Others who have the ability to obtain information are also very concerned about the outcome of this communication.
Only Su Wanqing, who has returned to take care of the spiritual flower, is a little unhappy.
Last time she participated in Sect Tournament, Xiao Chen but she didn't bother to watch it.
This time Xiao Chen had time, but Three Sects Joint Tournament was postponed.
Almost ten more days of suffering passed.
This morning, Xiao Chen got up early as usual and practiced Greater Celestial Circuit in the yard.
He suddenly felt that he had accumulated enough to surpass Minor Bottleneck and break through Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer.
"Calculating the time, it should be almost the same. Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is indeed mysterious."
Xiao Chen feels the fullness of the Dantian and is in a good mood, and wants to break through Foundation Establishment Late Stage in one go.
But he soon realized. "No, at this point in time, should I wait for the news about He Province before making a breakthrough?"
According to previous experience, after breaking through Minor Bottleneck, you can get a new Hextech.
But now he has two more important needs.
If Spirit Origin Sect really wants to take out Breakthrough Spirit Pill, then he will have to fight with He Province.
This time, you should choose a Hextech that maximizes real-time combat power to ensure that you can get the highest Points.
And if the previous gossip is false, there is no Breakthrough Spirit Pill.
Then you can consider choosing a growth-oriented Hextech to supplement your economy or secure your future.
All in all, give it a shake first.
This is called expert operation!
So in the next few days, Xiao Chen deliberately shortened his daily practice time, and only practiced one Greater Celestial Circuit in the morning and evening to maintain his condition.
In the extra time, I went to the Pill Refining Hall, picked out more expensive elixirs, took on a few alchemy tasks, and made a small profit Spirit Stone.
I waited like this for almost a month.
It wasn't until September 30th that definite news finally came.
Spirit Origin Sect will offer three True Essence Convergence Pill as the highest reward, and invite Foundation Establishment Cultivator of Li Province to He Province.
True Essence Convergence Pill is exactly the Breakthrough Spirit Pill that can help Foundation Establishment Cultivator break through Golden Core.
Depending on the monk's age, the success rate can be increased by half to 20%. The older the monk, the lower the success rate.
To get the highest success rate, the monk needs to be under 100 years old.
And considering that this thing basically has nothing to do with the ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Therefore, in order to enhance the appeal to the ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Spirit Origin Sect also sent a resource list that far exceeded the last time and publicized it throughout Li Province.
All of a sudden, everyone at Li Province was having a heated discussion.
A large number of little Lineage Foundation Establishment also shouted slogans to support He Province and Exterminate Demons and Defend the Dao.
Li Fire Sect naturally held a second meeting after receiving the news.
"This time the time is relatively relaxed. Brothers and sisters have ten days to consider whether to go to He Province."
"The specific resource list will be sent to everyone later."
Mei Yong was not happy when he said these words, but rather frowned.
As Sect Master, he needs to consider the normal operation of the entire sect.
Originally, a batch of Foundation Establishment Cultivator was transferred last time. If there are too many people leaving this time, many industries may be shut down.
But to be honest, if it weren't for his responsibilities, he would have wanted to go to He Province.
Even if you can't get Breakthrough Spirit Pill, after all, it is the most difficult item and requires the most Points.
But you can also consider trying to get other good things, such as Top-Grade Magical Artifact, such as Earth-Grade Talisman Path Inheritance.
Another example is Demonic Beast Inner Core!
That's right, this time Spirit Origin Sect actually gave out six Demonic Beast Inner Core.
Mana Limit, which permanently increases the Dantian. What monk wouldn't want such a good thing?
But what Mei Yong needs to do now is to promptly remind everyone of the dangers of going to He Province this time.
"Dear brothers, the reason why I didn't distribute the list first today is because there are some more important things that I need to make clear to everyone first."
"Just a month ago, a Demonic Golden Core attacked Seeking Plum Mountain."
"None of the two Foundation Establishment comrades responsible for stationing Seeking Plum Mountain survived."
After finishing speaking, he paused slightly.
Then he continued, "Half a month ago, Thunder Sound True Person of the Spirit Origin Sect fought against Demonic Golden Core."
"Just the aftermath of the battle between the two sides caused serious injuries to a Comrade Foundation Establishment not far away who had not had time to evacuate."
"Although he has been rescued, his foundation has been damaged. He can only stay at Foundation Establishment Stage 6 for the rest of his life and cannot go any further."
Mei Yong talked about many cases in one go. In addition to the fight between Golden Core True Person, there was also information about Soul Chasing Shuttle.
Southern Traveler of the Divine Fire Sect, relying on a Soul Chasing Shuttle, has hunted and killed at least eight Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
And this is only what was discovered on the surface, in fact more people were killed.
In short, the danger of He Province is repeatedly emphasized.
When he said this, many Lineage monks hesitated, especially some Inspector of the Su Family.
But Mei Yong is always concerned about several Guest Elder members of the sect.
Five Great Families will definitely make a decision in the end. On such a major matter, Lineage's will is the most important thing, and their personal thoughts are not important.
Guest Elder Only then can we really decide whether we want to go or not.
But most of the sects Guest Elder, although their faces were solemn, did not show any fear.
Spirit Origin Sect gave me too much.
"Not only are there Breakthrough Spirit Pill, but there are also so many Inner Core."
Xiao Chen returned to Emerald Valley, stared at the exchange list in his hand, and fell into deep thought.
To be fair, he doesn't know how to lose against monks of the same level now.
And this time I gave three Breakthrough Spirit Pill and six Inner Core.
He was almost 99% sure that he would get these two important supplies at the same time.
But the only problem is, if you are unlucky and encounter Demonic Golden Core, what should you do?
This is a small probability event, but Xiao Chen doesn't really want to bet on luck.
His luck is probably unreliable, and he has to rely on his strength in the end.
"At this point, it all depends on whether we can draw a trump card."
He suppressed his cultivation before and waited for more than a month.
The reason is that now we have one more choice.
Xiao Chen decisively took out the last bottle of Pure Wood Essence and drank it, and immediately felt a steady stream of Wood Spiritual Power spreading out.
Half an hour later.
He successfully broke through Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer.
